- Abstract
- A wide variety of complex systems, ranging from nuclear power
plants to governments, generate asynchronous events. We present
Multi-Event Dependency Detection (MEDD), a novel algorithm for
acquiring event correlation rules from historical logs of asynchronous
events. Given a new stream of events being generated in real
time, the rules support two important functions: clustering sets
of related events and predicting events that will occur in the
future.
